THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES

Happy Hump Day Guys and Dolls:

First of all I would like to start by wishing all you Guys and Dolls out there celebrating their birthdays or anniversaries today a very happy one with many more to come. Also best wishes for those getting married, divorced, having a baby, getting a promotion, retiring and for all of you who called in sick to work to do something fun. I’m going to search the net or one of those Spencer’s Gift Shops for my machine gun sound blaster for those drivers who are getting on my nerves with their tailgating or the bonehead driving habits. It’s time they be blasted off the road with a Tommy Gun, Laser or Rocket Launcher. Those idiots must go in my book.

Do you know what today is? It’s “EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT DAY.” I gave this a long JoeyZ brain session and decided to make a list from the time I lived in NJ and food that I do miss now. So here we go, maybe you’re missing the same eats as me.

Anything my Granny made.

My Mom’s homemade Christmas cookies.

My Dad’s fried potatoes.

A Rossi’s Cheeseburger.

An Ernie’s Cheeseburger and Draft.

Cheesesteak and Fries from Nino’s.

Sicilian Pie from Nino’s.

Tomato Pies from DeLorenzo’s, Top Road Tavern and Papa’s.

Here is going way back, tomato pies from LaRoma (Sam’s on So. Broad St.) and Cassianni’s on Brunswick Ave.

Pork Roll sandwich from Taylor Pork Roll on the boardwalk at Atlantic City.

A slice of tomato pie from Marruca’s on the boardwalk at Seaside Heights.

A Casino Dog with the works.

Breakfast at any of the local diners.
